I use
Emotionally Focused
Therapy (EFT) and Narrative Therapy as primary guides to my work.

Chris Paredes
Counselor, MA, LMHC
Verified
I have done extensive training in
Emotionally Focused
Therapy (EFT) and Gottman Method and studied what builds healthy relationships, and how having our emotional needs met and understood by others builds self confidence and leads to positive change in all other areas of our lives.
I believe that healthy and fulfilling relationships are the beginning to change in all other areas of life. My goal is for us to understand the core struggles you are facing, and to provide you with proven tools that lead to change in yourself and in the relationships that matter the most. If you struggle with depression, anxiety, loneliness, anger, or substance addiction, understanding and changing patterns is the beginning to healing. I have created a safe, accepting place for you to discuss what is happening in your life so that together we can work to make the changes you desire to see so that your life feels better.

Working with couples I favor
Emotionally Focused
Therapy which brings positive results in a brief amount of time.
I see the therapeutic journey as a process rather than a destination. As such, every experience--whether "good" or "bad" is useful for one's transformation. With this as our pole star, life can again become exciting and spontaneous and can overflow with vitality; one regains authorship of one's own life--true creativity. Therapy should aid in the lifting of depression so that one one can rejoin the flow of one's life. It should begin to infuse the smallest moments with meaning while equipping and empowering one with practical tools to carry on this work beyond the therapeutic hour.

My work with couples integrates
Emotionally Focused
Couple Therapy and the Gottman Method.
I work with individuals, couples, parents, and families from diverse backgrounds. I am passionate about helping clients decrease emotional distress in their lives in order to restore purpose and connection. I believe change is possible when people feel safe to explore their values, hopes, dreams, commitments, and purpose, as well as their disappointments and hurts. I aim to help clients "slow down," encouraging reflection and insight, and the development of healthy coping strategies to create sustainable change. My stance is curious and flexible reflecting my belief that clients are the experts on their lives.

My approach is based on treatments shown to be effective and include
Emotionally Focused
Therapy, Mindfulness, and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy.
Psychotherapy provides a safe place to create positive changes and a more meaningful and joyful life. Together we will explore patterns and past hurts that may be keeping you stuck in order to move forward to achieve balance and improve relationships in your life. I offer tools and strategies to help you better understand, communicate, and connect with those you love. I believe in the inner wisdom and strength within each of us, and the potential we all have for creating the life we want.
Christopher Skaggs
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Verified
My approach is a combination of Gottman and
Emotionally Focused
Therapy.
I work with people individually, and in relationships that struggle to effectively communicate their needs. Because of how they were brought up, or conditioned through experience, they might have vastly different ways of showing up in relationships, especially through conflict. We all want to work on what drives our behavior so that we can better understand ourselves and each other. This allows us to be vulnerable with one another and experience our real selves, so we can connect and love one another on a much deeper and more meaningful level.

Currently accepting new clients! - I am an interactive, experiential, and conversational therapist. As part of the queer community, I enjoy working with all LGBTQIA+ people (ages 18 and up) wanting to explore identity development, gender and sexuality, sex and intimacy, attachment styles and patterns, and trauma healing and processing. Founded in attachment theory, I incorporate experiential and body-based theories (like
Emotionally Focused
Therapy) when working with all couples and partnerships to help you navigate conflict, increase emotional and sexual intimacy, repair attachment wounds, and create strong, lasting relationships.
Adria Chiu
Counselor, MA, LMHCA
Verified
Do you feel like you're maintaining or surviving, rather than thriving? Maybe you're not sure what the next step is, but you know you want to feel less stress, anxiety, and fear and more peace, joy, and confidence. I believe that many distressing feelings are often responses to a world that tries to tell us who we are and who we should be, through inherited belief systems, culture, relationships, experiences of trauma, and systems of oppression. I love working w/ people to reveal what those stories are, the meanings you've held in them, and how to discover and make space for the self inside you that felt small, boxed in, or stuck.

I offer a warm, nonjudgmental environment, specializing in adult individual counseling, and couples counseling. We all experience times where we get stuck, when we experience crisis, when we need help. I seek to collaborate with my clients in exploring what has happened in their life and how it affects what is currently happening; and together discover possible paths to greater self-awareness, and increased capacity to love, to work, and to live with wellness and fullness.

Healing begins with connection. We need these connections to not only survive but thrive. So often our connections are broken. I empower you to know that you are truly the expert in your healing process. Through co-creating a safe space that honors your infinitely unique selfhood, while emphasizing the importance relationship has in the process of healing. Unfortunately, there isn’t a one-size-fits all solution to enhance one’s growth and healing. We will explore all of who you are to best guide us through your everyday lived experience. In this we foster a holistic method that focuses on nourishing your mind, body, and soul.

Kaitlyn Sheridan
Counselor, MA, LMHC, MHP
Verified
We live in an absurd world, running into expected narratives about how life should be and how we should feel and think. These experiences can lead to suffering: overwhelm, feelings of isolation, meaninglessness, and permanence, leaving us feeling broken. We cannot change our experiences, but we can change our relationship with those experiences, what they mean, and how we approach them. I have extensive experience working with children and adolescents, identity difficulties, motherhood, spiritual and existential concerns, suicidal thoughts and feelings, LGBTQIA+ challenges, domestic violence, neurodiversity, and behavioral concerns

Camille Primous
Counselor, MS, LMHC, CN
Verified
In our lives, there are a number of experiences that lead to feeling alienated and disconnected from your body, your relationships to others, and a sense of meaning and worth. I hope to support you in returning home to yourself in all your complexities. I believe in leaning into discomfort in an effort to uncover the wisdom behind the strategies used to cope. It is through this learning that you can gain the tools to shift in a way that brings you to a place of greater abundance, connection, and radical self-love.
Pen Mims
Counselor, MA , LPC, LMHC
Verified
You are a complex human, holding infinite intersecting identities– some more important to you than others. I am a culture-affirming therapist, and when I say “culture” it isn’t just code for saying race. Culture is the background fabric from which you learned to engage with the world, and it’s more than any one piece of your identity. It can be hard to be seen fully. Others’ assumptions about who you are can leave you feeling unseen and reduced to a role or a space that doesn’t fit. Living unseen can affect what parts of yourself you find pride in, what parts you hide, who you form connections with and who you believe you can be.
Jaime Cara
Counselor, MA, LMHCA
Verified
Do you feel like you aren’t living the life you want? Do you feel overwhelmed by current events while trying to navigate a new normal? Do you find yourself wanting a more peaceful relationship with yourself and others? Maybe you feel like you can’t locate your real voice. And yet, you want to connect to a deeper sense of self. You want more truth, and you definitely don’t want to keep sacrificing your own needs and desires. Wherever you are on your journey, you deserve to feel seen and heard. I’m here to help you uncover your truth and honor how you want to show up in this world.
